Origin of name

Paete is famous for its cute Lanzones ( lansium domesticum )

The Spanish conquistadors traditionally named the cities after holy persons. Paete was an exception. Legend has it that a young Franciscan priest was commissioned by his superior to visit the newly founded cities along the Laguna de Bay . The priest didn't know much about this area and asked a local for the name of this place. However, the latter misunderstood the question: He meant that he was being asked for the name of the tool he was currently using. So he answered Paet ( gouge ). Hence the name "Paete".
